On September 30, Prime Minister Modi spoke with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, particularly concerning the ongoing conflict with Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. Modi emphasized that “terrorism has no place in the world,” reflecting a strong stance against violence and extremism. The conversation follows intensified Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon, which have raised concerns about further destruction and regional instability. In a significant military escalation, Israel has recently targeted and removed seven senior Hezbollah officials, vowing to continue its operations until the group surrenders. This exchange of hostilities marks one of the most severe confrontations between Israel and Hezbollah since October of last year, highlighting the potential for a broader conflict. The situation remains precarious, with international leaders closely monitoring the developments and their implications for regional peace and security.
